Causes of the Cheapness of Sugar.


The Hon. David a. Wells in an article
in the October Popular Science Monthly
on The Economic Disturbances Since
h>15, says OF the causes of the cheapness
of sugar.
The commodity Of prime importance in
the commerce and consumption Of the
word. which appears TO have experienced
the greatest recent decline in price. is
sugar. Vii, b las fallen TO lower rate
than has ever been known i'm the history
of mOdel commerce: the wholesale price of
fair refining sugars having been more than
ia per cent higher in 1850 than in the
first half al the year 1857.
Now. while improved methods of manu-
facture and greater and cheaper facilities
for transportation have undoubtedly con-
tributed to such result, it has been
mainly due TO All apparent desire, as Nj.
Deroy-Beaulieu has expressed IL, on the
part of the governments OF France, Ger
many. Austria. Belgium, Holland, Italy
and Russia. ITO make their national sugar
industry the greatest in the world 10y
stimulating the domestic production Of
this commodity by the payment OF extra
ordinary bounties on its expectation 10

competing with one another i'm paying

getting rid, at little or no profit, of one of
the most valuable and highly desired pro-
ducts of human industry.
On the other hand, in order to neutra-
lie TO some extent the exceptional adj
vantages enjoyed through such an economic
policy by the producers OF beet-sugar in
Europe. some OF the cane-growing coun-
tries have felt obliged To encourage by
subsidies or taS-eXemptions their own
sugar production. In both Brazil and the
Argentine Republic the manufacturers Of
cane-sugar have obtained guarantee
from the state of a five or six per cent re-
turn on their capital invested; while all
the machinery needed in this industry may
I've imported free of duty. In the Spanish
West Indies the home government has
finally (1sS7) felt compelled TO relinquish
the export duties on sugars-the produce
of Cuba and Porto Ric0-which have long
been regarded as almost indispensable on
account of revenue necessities; while in
South Africa and Australia the production
of sugar has also been encouraged to such
an extent that both of these countries will
hereafter be undoubtedly included among
the number of important sugar-exporting
regions.

THE STATE.
Said 10 he Unconstitutional.

state Senator J. W. Babcock has filed
with the supreme court a mandamus
which involves the constitutionality of
the state swamp land law passed at the
recent session of the legislature. Ex-Judge
Marston and Col. Atkinson are associated
with Senator Babcock in the important
case. The adjustment of this law would
result in loss OF S54 i61 10 Wayne coun-
~, and would also involve ten other
Michigan counties in lesser degree. Sen
ator Babcock has letter from Judge
Cooley which states that in his opinion
the new law cannot affect moneys that
are the proceeds OF swamp lands which,
under the act amended, the several coun-
ties had become entitled TO before the O.
cent act was passed. in all such moneys.
Ju tge Cooley thinks the counties had ac-
quired vested right and the legislature
could not divest them of 1t.
The swamp land law was holly contested
in the last legislature. The old counties
of the state, having disposed OF their
swamp lands in railroad grants, favored
the law while the younger counties, where
the swamp lands were still unsold, worked
tooth and nail against it, The present
movement Is instisated 10y the defeated
faction.

The question at issue was whether
the Northern Pacific has grant OF lands
from near Portland, Oregon, to Puget
Sound, Washington Territory, distance
OF about 40 miles. The commissioners
found the company had no grant. The
decision Of the secretary reverses and
finds that by joint resolution congress
approved, May 81, 1870, made grant of
land between the said points. IL is said
l,5,0.0Os acres are involved.
Commissioner Coleman says the reports
continue favorable in regard 10 the sorg-

quality and quantity as the work con-
tinues, and that there seems 10 be no
doubt that q genuine success has Leen

country asking for full information in re-
